POLITICAL.

A resolution for the punishment and
prevention of boycotnng is before tao Wis
cousin Legislature. The New York Senate
has passed a bill granting women the right to
vote at municipal elections. Tho Indiana
House defeated motion to suspend the rules
and appropriate $4,000 for a soldiers
monument The Governor of Kansas has
approved and signed the bill comforting
municipal suffrage upon women. A bill
repeating the black laws and the statute pro-
viding for separate schools for colored chill
dren passed the Ohio Senate. Upon the defeat
in the Minnesota House of Donnely's bill
fixing maximum rate for grain freights, the
author of the measure created a sensation by
declaring that no had been informed that
members could get $3.50 for voting against the
bill, aud $3.50 more for opposing the Emery
railroad bill.
Public sentiment in Missouri caused
the House to reconsider its vote refusing to
provide for the maintenance of the State
militia. A country member of the New YORK
Assembly has introduced bill to prohibit the
custom of treating to drinks in saloons. The
Ohio House put through a measure for tho
abandonment and sale of the Wabash and
Erie Canal, but the Senate promptly tabled it

The Root of the Dificultx.
Ben ID. House.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
The Rev. Phillips Brooks, in his lecture of
yesterday before the students of the Episcopal
Divinity School, touched with firm hand one
of the root difficulties of this and of every other
age since the founding of Christianity, which the
preachers and professors of the Christian relig-
ion have all too seldom been able to overcome
Said Mr. Brooks: "God will only punish men
for wickedness, and not for holding opinions
That is the truth which cuts into the knot of
sophistry and ends that great error that error
itself is guilt. The church should be more into.-
Grant of selhshness, cant and hypocrisy, and
less indignant with original opinions. The min
lister should be the pattern of intolerance of all
that is immoral, and the model of tolerence of
what is honest doubt aud honest belief in what
differs from himself"

From summees birthplace in the sun-steeped south,
Are roses blooming in the mist of distance,
Or have you kissed her MOUTH
You must have stirred her cnging robes in passing
Or breathed warm kisses on her bronzen hair,
And though black clouds before your breath are
massing
The night for me is fair.
Pant on in signing, gushing languorous fashion
From where the blue of distance hides her, blown,
And kiss my lips and south-set face with passion
As fierce as is my
For sweeter far than Cashmeres wales of blooming
Is your wild breath which biilowing storm-clouds
stir
Nor can they shade my sky with hue of g!ooming
Because you from her.

neither millstone--the glacier to the north and
the mountains and the sea at the south of Eu-

the mountains and the sea at the south of Eu-
rope.
In America the great mountain masses lie on
the east and west sides of the most extensive
plain on the earth and the life forms were grad
ualy forced southwark, many of the animals
into South America, and all into the abundant
and still temperate areas of the Southern United
States below the glacial limit. As the glacier
retreated the hard-pressed fora of the sea shores
encroached upon their oppressors, which in their
turn, were again driven to the northward.
But many of these plants originally from Can
ada and Manitoba found congenial stopping
places on their retreat to the northward They
climbed mountains and sought the shady sides of
Indiana cliffs and ravines, thus partially escap-
ing the warm climate aud partially accustoming
themselves to it.
The evident conclusion is that all North
American flora originated in the polar regions,
was driven south by the cold of the glacial epoch,
and again north by the warmer Champlain eli
mate when the glacial ice melting; the
Canadian plants were driven westward by the
trend OF the Alleghenies; the Alaskan groups
eastward by the trend of the continent that
.nonsands OF kinds we're driven to the shores of
the southern sea and literally exterminated; that
in these ceaseless wanderings back and forth
from north to south, many kinds found favor
able stopping places, sufficiently cool for perma-
nent habitation
OF Indiana fora, Professor Coulter estimates
that, of the J. l91 species of higher plants native
to Indiana, about one-thrd is distinctly north
ern or polar closely related to plants of north
Asia and Europe. OF this third, about 1l6 have
come from the northeast, thirty-four from the
northwest, 104 from the east 102 from the
south and eighteen from the west. The chief
lines Of invasion have been from the north and
east
The fact that there were two lines of north
ern invasion, one from the northeast and the
other from the northwest, is additional evidence,
from the study of plant distribution, of the
theory long ago first announced by Prof. John
Collect that Indiana has been the theater Of two
separate glacial invasions-oEe from the north
west, bringing zine, copper, silver and gold ores
to the State from Wisconsin and Michigan, and
another from across Canada, Lake Erie and
| Ohio, bringing its characteristic minerals, and,
as Professor Coulter has shown its plants, also.
Professor Coulters work is far in advance of
| any previous work on this subject, as related to
| the North American flora, and his brief essay
! of thirty pages will make the report eagerly
| sought by the botanists and biologists of the
| world, for he has shown incontestibly that plant
distribution is a powerful ally in the study OF
historical geology

The gables of the far1n-h house groan,
And down the orchards barren rows,
Beyond the hills cloud of crows
Against the windy west is blown.

And eastward, like Indian queen,
The moon at intervals is seen,
